Cummins to Acquire 50 Percent of Momentum Fuel Technologies From Rush Enterprises
June 29 2021 - 08:28AM
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) and Rush Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: RUSHA
& RUSHB) today announced that they have signed a Letter of
Intent for Cummins to acquire a 50% equity interest in Momentum
Fuel Technologies from Rush Enterprises.
The proposed transaction is expected to close later this year,
subject to completion of customary pre-closing activities and
entering into mutually agreeable transaction documentation. The
joint venture between Rush Enterprises and Cummins will produce
Cummins-branded natural gas fuel delivery systems for the
commercial vehicle market in North America, combining the strengths
of Momentum Fuel Technologies’ compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel
delivery systems, Cummins’ powertrain expertise, and the
engineering and support infrastructure of both companies.
“This collaboration shows Cummins’ continued commitment to
natural gas powertrains,” said Srikanth Padmanabhan, President of
the Engine Business at Cummins. “This partnership will improve
customers service for both CNG and RNG through an improved support
network. We are thrilled to expand our network of clean and
reliable power solutions.”
“The immediate environmental benefits of CNG and RNG, combined
with upcoming regulatory requirements, will drive growth in natural
gas vehicles for the foreseeable future,” said W.M. “Rusty” Rush,
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, Rush Enterprises,
Inc. “This partnership will enable Rush Enterprises to continue to
provide unparalleled support to our customers through our mutual,
wide-ranging portfolio of Cummins’ and RushCare aftermarket
solutions and keep trucks up and running across the country.”
The joint venture will offer aftermarket support through Rush
Truck Centers dealerships and Cummins distributors which will be
able to service both the engine and the fuel delivery system. The
partnership between Cummins and Rush Enterprises will benefit
customers by providing them with access to an extensive CNG vehicle
parts and service network; both Cummins’ and Rush Enterprises’
respective networks, which together represent over 250 locations in
the US and Canada, will be equipped with certified technicians and
access to a comprehensive CNG vehicle parts inventory.
